A Self administered structured questionnaire and check list were used to collect data based on the study objectives. Among experimental group, in pre test majority of the samples had inadequate knowledge and in post test most of them had adequate knowledge whereas in pre test majority of the samples had moderately adequate knowledge on practice and in post test almost all of them had adequate knowledge on practice. The calculated paired‘t’ test value of knowledge (t=19.84) and knowledge on practice (t= 20.46) was showed highly significant difference at p≤0.01 in experimental group. The calculated independent ‘t’ test value of knowledge (t=16.51) and knowledge on practice (t=14.38) showed highly significant difference at p≤0.01 between experimental and control group ,which revealed that snake and ladder game was effective in improving the level of Knowledge and knowledge on practice regarding prevention of worm infestations among samples. The calculated Karl Pearson ‘r’ value (r=0.21) of knowledge and knowledge on practice regarding prevention of worm infestation showed positive correlation. Among experimental group, in post test significant association found between level of knowledge and occupational status of father. In pre test significant association found between level of knowledge on practice and occupational status of father, total number of children in the family and previous exposure to worm infestation except for the other demographic variables.
